Is anyone else getting promo-fatigued these days? We have so many shows upcoming that are giving us glimpses at stills and teasers and poster shoots, but at this point I just want to SEE the damn shows already and enough with the teasing.

That said: Howsabout a new batch of All About My Romance stills? With That Winter, The Wind Blows heading into its final stretch, SBS is readying All About, its follow-up drama set in the world of politics. It’s got a familiar opposites-attract conceit — Lee Min-jung is the liberal, Shin Ha-kyun the conservative — but the hope is that the milieu offers up a fresh take on the standard rom-com setup.

The preview below shows her character apologizing for disappointing her constituency, while he blames “the ignorant citizens” for choosing such an incompetent politician. (I assume he means her.) Those are some words he’ll have to eat later on when he falls for her, I’m sure. (In addition to being a former judge, Shin Ha-kyun’s character is a fourth-degree geomdo (kendo) expert, which I suppose corresponds to his killer instinct and fierce temperament.)

The tone of the piece seems dignified and thoughtful, but as this is being described as a romantic comedy and comes from the producers of Protect the Boss, I do expect a fair amount of comic absurdity sprinkled throughout. Plus, we’ve got Gong Hyung-jin in place as one of our heroes fellow assemblymen from the same party, who’s known for ad-libbing his way through his comic roles. So while I’m not sure how funny our leads will be directly, it should be fun having a hilarious sidekick on hand, at least.

hahaha, you’re funny, but i truly understand what you mean =). I would add, he has intelligent eyes and a very brilliant actor. Everytime i watched his dramas or movies, i’m completely mesmerized by his totality =)

Not only intelligent and expressive but very sensitive eyes….That makes it even better. Contrast that with full sensual pouty lips. …Intelligent, sexy and sensitive. What more could we ask of an actor?!!!!!

I’m going to watch this no matter what. I’m ready for something different, more dynamic and light.
(I woke up this morning and realized that my interest for TWTWB had completely faded, just like that. Cold ashes.)

I think I just got bored. She should have found out he wasn’t her brother much earlier. I thought the kiss made a lot of sense. OS’s desperation. I think the drama ended at the kiss for me. There was nothing more to look forward to. They had done all the cute stuff …..all tension was gone. I don’t think we could have had more kissing scenes…..It would have looked like it was about sex, not love then. The drama was going at top speed but suddenly it lost steam.

I don’t think TWTWB is that good. It seemed to be a commercial for the “physical features” of the two leads. While I think Song Hye-kyo is very pretty, she can’t act her way out of a paper bag. She is always paired with good looking and very talented actors. Her agent should be rewarded because she talent never lives up to the talent she is surround by. I haven’t seen a film or drama where I thought her acting blew me away.

this show i cant wait to watch, too! also agree with you with regards to TWTWB. for the first time, i did not eagerly rush to see new episode…in fact, totally have no desire to continue it atm. but i guess i will eventually, just to see how it ends…

I agree wholeheartedly!!! There is a big difference between eye candy and truly talented actors…..Ha Jung-woo, Kim Joo Hyuk, Lee Jung-jae, Lee Chun-hee and Daniel Choi are all handsome men, but their talent and their machismo makes them especially sexy!

i’ve been thinking this since i saw the first stills of Shin Ha Kyun, but does he remind anyone else of Lee Je Hoon (or vice versa)?
lol, i get this all the time, when an older actor has some familiar qualities to a younger actor, and i get all excited and curious about how the younger actor will change as they age.
i get that it may just be me who feels like there are similarities and that’s ok too. but it’d be great to know if anyone else gets this.

PARK. HEE. SOON.
OMFG!!!!!! So hot. SO. hot.
and it’s not just looks wise, but his charisma, screen presence. he pretty much ownes the screen whenever he was on in MIA.
Did y’all see that glimpse of him in the teaser?

I’m also feeling fatigue from the drama stills. I’m actually feeling none of the upcoming dramas. Been seeing still and thinking “that sounds nice” “that sounds exciting”, but I’m not feeling the excitement, so I’m paying attention to all the stills of the new crop of dramas, hoping for something to excite me.

Not feeling the teaser here, but I do love Protect the Boss and the other opposites-attract-in-the-political-arena rom-com, City Hall.
